Cottages.
“Do you mean that Jianlian’s legs are injured and can’t walk?” Commandery Princess Qingjiang touched a golden bracelet on her wrist and frowned. She asked, “Doctor Han, can’t you cure her? I hold this party to make these young ladies happy. But now Cui Jianlian is injured. Shall I ask people to carry her back to the Cui Family? How can I tell the Cui Family and the Noble Consort?”
Cui Jianlian looked pale and smiled faintly, “Your Highness, don’t be so serious. How can I blame you? It’s I who don’t manage my people well to make it happen.”
Jiang Muting glared at her, “Say it clearly! Don’t be unintelligible. Other people may think I push you!”
“Miss Jiang, you are clear about what happened!” Cui Jianlian’s maid protested with tears, “Everyone saw it! Even if Miss Jiang forgets how it happened, many people outside will tell you the truth!”
Then she knelt down again to Commandery Princess Qingjiang and accused
Commandery Princess Qingjiang’s voice was not loud but it still astonished Cui Jianlian!Cui Jianlian responded fast and instantly knelt down, crying, “Your Highness, I am so sorry! I shouldn’t exaggerate my injury out of the fear for Sister Muting’s blaming!”Jiang Muting was furious to hear her words. Cui Jianlian still kept slandering Jiang Muting even at the moment!“So you just neglect Her Highness’s kindness to visit you and even sent for the imperial doctor from the imperial capital just now?” Song Yixiao gave her a hint with the eyes to be patient and questioned closely in a cold voice, “As I recall, you are two years older than me. You are not a child anymore. How can you lack tact like this? How dare you turn a blind eye to Her Highness’s warm-heartedness and hospitability!”Song Yixiao managed to put the label of defying the Commandery Princess on Cui Jianlian with a few words. Having noticed that Commandery Princess Qin
After a long while, Commandery Princess Qingjiang asked in a trembling voice, “You... You know Xubai?”“Six years ago, His Highness once did me a favor. We also happened to meet in Marquis Boling’s mansion some time ago.” Holding the jade pendant, Song Yixiao said at a loss, “But... But the jade pendant...”Frightened by the suddenly fierce look of Commandery Princess Qingjiang, she subconsciously stopped talking.“It’s none of your business. Excuse yourself first!” Luckily, Commandery Princess Qingjiang’s outrage was not because of her. After a while, the Commandery Princess finally held back her anger and waved her hand, saying in a surprisingly weak voice, “Put away your jade pendant. Don’t tell anybody about it... This matter can’t be officially approved until I go back to the imperial capital. Do you understand?”Song Yixiao bit her down lip harshly and suppressed her outburst surprise and doubt, “Jian Xubai! Isn’t he going to
Commandery Princess Qingjiang didn’t return to the feast until the feast was almost over. Commandery Princess Nanzhang found it quite strange so she asked, “Why were you away for so long?”Then she noticed that the first maid was changed too, “Where is Zhenli?”“I got held up for something about Ping’an.” Commandery Princess Qingjiang was not in a good mood but she didn’t want anybody to be in the know. Neither could she be discomposed in front of the public, so she still replied to her cousin with a kind and pleasant countenance, “I am afraid that no one is capable enough for him so I’ve asked Zhenli to stay.”Commandery Princess Nanzhang asked with concern, “Is Ping’an okay?”“He is fine.” Commandery Princess Qingjiang pursed her lips and replied casually. Then she asked, “How was the feast just now?”“Your absence caused uproar for a while but it was quieted down very soon.” Commandery Princess Nanzhang said smiling
After undergoing the trouble at the feast of Shangsi Festival, Song Yixiao, Jiang Muting and Wei Yinlian became besties somehow.Now that she heard such shocking news, she must figure out why.The problem was that Prince of Wei’s marriage had nothing to do with Prince of Hengshan, so she could only hear of the result for being in the Prince of Hengshan’s mansion.Song Yixiao and Jiang Muting were merely acquaintances. Even if they became closer now, it was still too early for Song Yixiao to pay a visit to Jiang Muting without being invited. Moreover, the Jiang Family was in trouble now. It was an inappropriate act indeed.Therefore, she could only turn to Yuan Xue’e for any insider information if any.Even if she gained no information from Yuan Xue’e, it would be more convenient for Yuan Xue’e to inquire about.“Ms. Zhao, give me the jade pendant!” Thinking of that she was likely to run into Jian Xubai, So
... After Yuan Xuepei finally stopped sermonizing her, Yuan Xue’e went out to find Song Yixiao in the front hall. But there were no servants and only Song Yixiao and Jian Xubai sat there face to face. The air was strange between them.She asked in astonishment, “Why does no one serve you?”“Ji Su lost something, they all went out to help find it.” Song Yixiao had no way to refuse Jian Xubai. She lumped it secretly and took back the okra yellow jade pendant.Song Yixiao was so depressed at this time and couldn’t wait to leave when seeing Yuan Xue’e out. Because she would want to beat Jian Xubai if she continued to stay with him!So she stood up and said, “They might have found it after all this time. Xue’e, since you come here, do you want to see them with me?”Jian Xubai had been waiting for a long time, too. After hearing her words, he put down the tea bowl and said, “I’ll go to talk with Xuepei. Please tell Ji Su whe
Song Yixiao went back to Prince of Hengshan’s mansion with a heavy heart. As soon as she came in, Wei Mengying called her, “Several families come to propose a marriage. Come and have a look.”“Propose a marriage?” Song Yixiao was stunned, “Mother, please refuse them. I don’t want to think about that now.”“You are 14 years old, and will be at the age of marring soon.” Wei Mengying said nervously, “How can you refuse to talk about your marriage? The Dowager Consort is focusing on your marriage. Even if she doesn’t drive you, can you live in the prince’s mansion all your life? Don’t be shy at this time! You’d better open your eyes to find a good husband!”Song Yixiao would not end well if she didn’t marry Jian Xubai. But there would be a little hope if she married him. So she was thinking whether she should confess to her mother. At this time, Wei Mengying continued to say, “But you can’t be self-important. A girl’s marriage depends on the status
Although Song Yixiao guessed incorrectly and thought her mother trapped Jinxun indirectly, she didn’t want to let Lu Zimiao go. She said, “I live in Prince of Hengshan’s mansion many years without paying. So I always bear their satire and don’t dare to complain! I don’t mind it. But how can Lu Zimiao treat my maid like that?”She comforted Jinxun and gave her two sets of dresses she had just worn. Then she asked Jinxun to rest and then called Ms. Zhao upstairs to discuss, “I should teach Lu Zimiao a lesson! But we can’t speak it out publicity. Otherwise it will damage Jinxun’s reputation!”“Now you haven’t become Duke Jian’s fiancée. I think we’d better not cause complications since Sixth Young Lady conceals it.” Ms. Zhao said after thinking, “Anyway, Jinxun is just a maid and doesn’t get the worst of it!”Although Ms. Zhao said that, she also knew Song Yixiao regarded her people as important and cared more about her maids after Zhiqin had an a
After sending Second Young Mistress away, Wei Mengying asked Song Yixiao to stay here and told her something.Song Yixiao frowned a little and thought Wei Mengying would continue to warn her. But unexpectedly, Wei Mengying took out a visiting card and asked, “Do you know why it’s sent here?”“What?” Song Yixiao took it in bewilderment and had a look at it. Then she was also shocked, “They ask to see you? Why?”There were two signatures on the card, which were Madam Huang, the wife of Advisor to the Crown Prince, and Madam Lu of Song Family. Song Yixiao couldn’t remember Madam Huang. But she must know Madam Lu who was present wife of her father, Song Yuan, as well as her stepmother!Wei Mengying found her daughter’s shock wasn’t assumed. She also began to look confused, “How can I know that? I never contact with them! In my opinion, there’s no reason for them to visit me. Will they come for you?”Then she sneered, “In t
